He Had a Limit.

The dude was visiting the peniten. tiary, accompanied by an official and a newspaper man, and the party were talking to one of the prisoners. “Have a cigarette?” said the dude as they were about to depart, offering him a package. *' “Much obliged,” responded the prisoner sWkinadiis head. “I’ve stole bosses, and roobed chicken roosts, and broke intQ houses, and killed a man or two, and had four or five wives, and made counterfeit money, but I never smoked cigarettaS, and, heaven helpin’ tne, I never will. So long,” and the ceil door went to with a bang as as the one the dude wore ffi ills hair.
